Piano Quintet in C Minor

By Ralph Vaughan Williams

This is one of the early Vaughan Williams pieces that was released long after his death. We think it was withdrawn from publication because it doesn't sound very much like mature Vaughan Williams. It's a very sweet sounding piece but is quite short and bit unconventional in both...

format and instrumentation. Makes a nice alternative to the Trout for bass players looking to play chamber music.

This is a beautiful piece. It is very easy to put your heart in this work. despite it having only 3 movements, each movement lasts about 10 minutes. this, in my opinion was a gamble. The first and last movements are wonderful to play and to listen to. however, it...

seems, again this is my own opinion, that if you don't watch yourself, the 2nd movement gets a little redundant. All together, it is a very Romantic work, finishing with an amazing climax. a must for anyone wanting a great piano quintet to perform or just to play for fun (and might I add it is a great piece because of the String Bass. It adds so much depth!)
